Blast from the Past (Re: Roy Spencer)

Remember when Roy Spencer was the kind of denier who invented an unscientific and arbitrary fit to the data just to imply there was a decline? 

We stopped that real quick, pointing out that his entertainment implied the world would end in January 2171. 

He got the message and ended his "entertaining third-order polynomial." Shame when you have to teach a scientist how to be scientific. 

Of course, there has been a lot of warming since.

An "entertaining" thought: how many people did climate denialists kill via Hurricane Helene? Say, to the nearest factor of 10 human beings? Too soon to ask?

Wow. I hadn't looked recently. The current warming spike is staggering. 3rd order polynomial gives 6C warming in 50 years at this point, if I'm not mistaken.
